If the principal amount of all 2017 Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, the principal amount of 2017 Notes purchased after the Early Settlement Date will be prorated based on the principal amount of all 2017 Notes validly tendered on or prior to the Expiration Date. Holders whose 2017 Notes are accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date will not be subject to such proration. If any tendered 2017 Notes are not accepted for payment, such 2017 Notes will be returned without expense to the tendering holder.
